Director
Stanmore Insurance Brokers

Jackie Hyde is sole director of Lancashirebased Stanmore Insurance Brokers, where she manages over £5.5m in GWP annually and a staff of 23. With many accomplishments under her belt, she is most proud of her development and implementation of the dot2dot scheme for children’s nurseries, which has driven her from day one.

“I started to work with nurseries through another insurance supplier and quickly realised that this was a fantastic business sector to work with,” she says.

“The owners and managers of nurseries were interested in ensuring their cover was right as they appreciated they were carrying a considerable risk as they were looking after children. I also loved the fact I was working predominantly with female business owners, so when the opportunity came to move away from the other supplier, I decided we were more than capable of launching our own product that would enable us to bring our own ideas and solutions to the market.”

The GWP for the scheme has grown from £100,000 in 2003 to £2m in 2016. Currently, dot2dot insures over 1,570 nurseries nationally, 70,000 children and £1.5bn for material damage. Praising her dedication to the industry, one of her peers says: “Jackie believes that insurance is the backbone of any successful company; it needs to be sold right but, more importantly, the detail has to be meticulous in order to provide the highest level of service and greatest protection possible for her client base, and her enduring aim is to exceed customer expectation.”
